In July of 2020, the District was successful in securing $5.9 Million in funding from the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (Rural and Northern Communities) to build the Shuswap (Secwépemc) Healing Centre, a health and wellness facility being built in collaboration with Splatsin. The Centre will be the new home of the Sicamous Community Health Centre (previously the Sicamous Medical Clinic) and will provide space for allied health professionals to offer services in the community.
In September 2021, the contract for the project was awarded to Scott Builders Inc. whose design team includes health-care design consultant Dr. Avein Saaty-Tafoya and world-renowned architect Douglas Cardinal. The project, which is currently in the cost budget development phase, is being designed for 200 Main Street - property owned by the District of Sicamous and zoned Downtown Commercial.
